Ambiguous title is ambiguous ಠ_ಠ

OP, please read the rules of a community before posting next time:

Not regarding using or support for Lemmy: context, see the list of support communities and tools for finding communities below

Each Lemmy instance also has its own instance-wide rules, so there are at least two sets of rules to consider.

This retort unfortunately never works, because they’ve only ever heard lies about Russia’s motivations and desired outcomes—falsehoods about what Russia would consider to be “winning.”

I’ve never seen ambulances or fire trucks intentionally blocked, and I’ve often seen protest organizers plan ahead for ambulance & fire access.

The only halfway-decent treatment I’ve seen in Western media to date was the Cylon occupation of New Caprica in the 2004 Battlerstar Galactica TV series. It was basically the US occupation of Iraq, except the “us” were the occupied insurgents and the “them” were the occupiers.

It depends on the community/instance for the most part. This is a great piece, but I almost didn’t click on it because of the shitty title.

More Perfect Union is great. Consumer Reports still does some good work; they used to be even better, but they don’t have the funding they used to.

Especially when the English-language corpora used to train LLMs are virtually exclusively anti-communist.

You fell for it again, I’m afraid. Previously:

The UK’s 99 year lease to subjugate the people of Hong Kong ended, a lease which had been forced upon Imperial China at gunpoint during the century of humiliation. Hong Kong reintegration after the lease expired was a foregone conclusion. The last minute, US-backed attempt at color revolution failed. It was the so-called “revolutionaries” who brought the brutality, by the way.

Deeply unserious people.

This meme is throwing the baby out with the bathwater. While 98% of self-described anarchists are LARPers, anarchists do exist.

their houses and businesses

Of course they worry about wealth redistribution, they’re wealthy. That’s why the capitalist class will do literally anything in their vast power to crush socialism.

Yes. I’m not disagreeing with you; I’m just highlighting what a unique moment it was, because most people think that was “normal,” and that we can get back to it, but we never can.

You seem very excited about this subject, maybe you should calm down.

“You are an emotional soyjack and I am a rational chad.”

Redditors, man.

We had a middle class when taxes on the wealthy were 50-90 percent. Unless we bring that back, the ‘economy’ is bullshit.

If you were white and male it was a good deal for one generation. That was an anomalous moment in world history that will never come again. The US was the only major power in the world that didn’t have its productive capacity blown to smithereens in WWII, unions were comparatively strong, and the USSR posed a serious ideological threat to capitalism which caused the bourgeoisie to give (temporary) concessions.

Nor are you, but I am an admin here.

Some of the economic problems were self created because many leftists have zero formal economic backgrounds

That may well be, but at the same time, most economists in the world have a garbage education in neoclassical economics and carry neoliberal brain worms.

Biden literally framed it as “democracy vs autocracy.” As if the US has ever been anything close to a democracy.
